Modifications: Frame Off Restoration
Link to restoration thread!
3-20-2007, the restoration is complete! To my knowledge there has never been a Bronco II gone into this far, and modified to this extent. She is truly one of a kind!
So many things have changed and/or been upgraded. Major flaws in the wiring and fuel systems were discovered. I hope that this will resolve the fuel ratio issues I was having prior to the restoration. I also tried to address my cooling issue by adding a much larger aluminum radiator and additional tranmission cooler with an A pillar mounted trans temp guage. My fuel guage was corrected, along with V8 calibration of the Tach. The fenders were generously trimmed, and Bushwacker flares were added to accomodate the addition of 35" tires. To level the truck front to back, F150 Coil spacers were added to the front coils, giving about 1.5" of additional lift. New driving lights, new grill, headlight bezels, and rear tail light lenses were cosmetic upgrades. Not to mention that everything has been coated with POR-15 and lined with bedliner. New decals, and a few other odds and ends will be added over the next month.
These were the first pictures taken upon completion:
Here are a few new pics:
